How to deal with AGGRESSIVE classmates? Sorry, long...
In my alternative school of only 5 boys (including me), there is one super aggressive 18 year old student who always storms off and/or gets violent... Today, he was listening to really, really loud music on his phone in the cafeteria, without earphones, and our teacher kept telling him to turn it down, so the student said "get outta my face!" and so our teacher took his phone, and he looked like he was going to punch him, so our teacher said, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" and the student said, "Give me my phone!! !" so our teacher gave it to him, and he hit the wall, dumped a bucket of water, hit the microwave, and stormed off.... then, as the teacher was watching him leave, the student showed him the middle finger and cussed him out...
also, there is a student who rides my bus, who used to be a part of our unit, but now is part of the CBI unit (community based instruction, for low-functioning students)... he would have a violent incident every day on our unit, so they had to move him, but even now he gets restrained alot... once, he stormed into our room, sat down at a table, put his head down, and the paraprofessional and teacher just stood there, and he quickly unplugged a plug, and tried to tip the table, and they restrained him.... I think he was upset because he got rejected by a girl he liked, earlier he said his crush had a boyfriend, and in the past he said that girl was his "girlfriend". Then, there's an abrasive 2nd 18 year old, who is rude and blunt.... he has tried being my friend, but when he asked me on facebook if i liked his hat, i said, "not really... sorry
" and he said "well, when you have friends you're supposed to make them feel good not make them want to smack you... I'm just trying to help you... one day, i told him i wanted to sit at lunch alone, and he said, "if you don't want to be friends just tell me! I was just trying to be nice!" what do I do?
